Naming Ionic Naming Ionic CCompoundsompounds

For naming an ionic compound,1) Name the metal.

EX: BaBrEX: BaBr22

Barium

Naming Ionic Naming Ionic CCompoundsompounds

For naming an ionic compound, 2) Write the name of the non-

metal, and change the end to –ide.

Barium brom ine ide

EX: BaBrEX: BaBr22

Naming Ionic Naming Ionic CCompoundsompounds

If there is a polyatomic anion, then you do not change the ending: EX: Ca(NOEX: Ca(NO33))22

Calcium nitrate

Name these:

Na2O

MgCl2Na2CO3

Name these:

Na2O sodium oxide

MgCl2 Magnesium chloride

Na2CO3 sodium carbonate

Naming Ionic Naming Ionic CCompoundsompounds3)3)If a positive ion (a metal) can If a positive ion (a metal) can

have more than one oxidation have more than one oxidation number, you have to designate number, you have to designate its charge in the name!its charge in the name!

We do this by putting the charge We do this by putting the charge as a roman numeral in as a roman numeral in parenthesis between the parenthesis between the positive positive and negative and negative

ion.ion.

Naming Ionic Naming Ionic CCompoundsompoundsWhy do we need to do that?

Name: Fe2O3

FeO

These both exist in nature, so we have to show which one we mean.

Fe2O3Name it:

Iron ox ygen ide ( ) III

-2

If this is true, then what was iron to begin with?

+3 Reverse criss cross to find the charge of

Fe OName it:

Iron ox ygen ide ( ) II

-1

If this is not true, the numbers must have been reduced.

+2 -2

Naming Ionic Naming Ionic CCompoundsompoundsMetals that don’t need parentheses:Group I, II and IIIAZn, Cd (always +2) Ag (always +1)

Which means transition, inner transition and other metals do need a paranthesis!

Tin and Lead

• Tin and Lead do need a roman numeral because they have more than one oxidation number.

• Sn(II) and Sn(IV)• Pb(II) and Pb(IV)

Naming Ionic Naming Ionic CCompoundsompoundsFinal flowchart of how to name:

Name the positive ion.

Does it need a roman numeral?

If so, reverse criss cross, if not, ignore.

Name the negative ion and:

If a nonmetal end in -ide; if it is a polyatomic ion, name the polyatomic.

Name these:

Na2S

CuCl2K2SO4

Pb(NO3)4

Name these:

Na2S sodium sulfide

CuCl2 copper(II)chloride

K2SO4 potassium sulfate

Pb(NO3)4 lead(IV)nitrate
